:description: Instructions for setting up a simple hierarchical menu on displays.

|
|
The component provides an infrastructure for setting up a hierarchical menu
|
|
on character based LCD displays. This offers the user an interactive method to display
|
|
labels, control entities like ``switch``, ``select``, ``number`` available locally on the
|
|
ESPHome node, without the requirement of a network connection.

Overview
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
The integration implements the :ref:`Display Menu <display_menu>` integration providing
|
|
a hierarchical menu primarily intended to be controlled either by a rotary encoder
|
|
with a button or a five-button joystick controller.
|
|
|
|
The component needs to be connected to an instance of a character based LCD display, which
|
|
like :ref:`lcd-pcf8574` or :ref:`lcd-gpio`. For the best results the GPIO connection is
|
|
recommended; the I²C one running at the speed according to the datasheet (usually ``100``
|
|
kHz) or even ESPHome default (``50`` kHz) will create perceptible delays especially when
|
|
changing a numeric value using the rotary encoder. Most ``PCF8574`` adapters used with
|
|
these displays will happily run at ``200`` or even ``400`` kHz though so if you are comfortable
|
|
accepting risks from running your hardware out of spec, you might want to try that
|
|
in your :ref:`i2c` configuration.

Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.
|
|
- **display_id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID of the LCD display.
|
|
- **mark_back**, **mark_selected**, **mark_editing**, **mark_submenu** (*Optional*, 0-255):
|
|
Code of the character used to mark menu items going back one level, a selected one,
|
|
the editing mode and item leading to a submenu. Defaults to ``0x5e`` (``^``), ``0x3e`` (``>``),
|
|
``0x2a`` (``*``) and ``0x7e`` (a right arrow). As the character set lacks a good looking
|
|
back arrow, using a user defined character is advisable for ``mark_back`` (use ``8`` to
|
|
reference one at position ``0`` to avoid problems with zeros in a string).
|
|
|
|
The rest of the configuration is described in the :ref:`Display Menu <display_menu>` component.
|
|
The menu inherits the dimensions of the connected LCD display and uses the entire area.
